⑬ The 2nd Aurora Experience


After enjoying the ice hotel, I got back to Ylläs.
The sky was so nice that I saw the beautiful crimson sky and sunset.


I stopped by at a supermarket on the way back.
While I was waiting for the driver, I got a can of Swedish beer there
since I went to Sweden crossing border from Finland. This is just for tonight!!
By the way, I pay the cash with Swedish krone
not only at the ice hotel but also there. (But I could pay with Euro.)

----------   Arrived in Ylläs   ----------

I was in Finland again and got to the lodge finally. I made it there later than I expected,
so I had dinner quickly and rushed into Äkäslompolo lake for Northern Lights.
On the way to the lake, bright Northern Lights already appeared.
It got smaller and weaker once but it got brighter and bigger when I was on the lake.


It got even bigger. It seemed as if it covered the whole sky over my head.
And I got confused because I didn't know where I should aim my camera for the shot.
So I enjoyed the Northern Lights changing its shape and brightness lying down on the lake
and shouting in my mind, " I don't care about taking pictures anymore!!"

In an hour, it got smaller and I thought that it might not get bigger again
so I got back to the lodge. But it was much better and bigger than yesterday's
so it broke my personal record. So it was far the best Northern Lights I'd seen. Hooray!!

After I got back to the lodge, I made myself warm up with the sauna in my room.
I celebrated my personal record with a can of beer I'd got in Sweden.
It had bitter taste like "Asahi Super Dry," one of the most famous Japanese beers.



I fell asleep with an excellent dream; the beauty of the ice hotel
and the Northern Lights I saw that night. Good Night....zzz
